As you would expect, the “Editor’s Prize Issue” of the Missouri Review features the editor’s prize winners of both the fiction and essay contests and the Larry Levis poetry prize winner in addition to a selection of other fiction, poetry, essays, and reviews. Here are a few lines from the poetry winner George Looney’s “An Occurrence of Grace at a Bartók Concert”: “…They’d have heard whales in her voice, // seaweed and rust, not Bartók. Those / vain hawkers of deformities…Their shrill voices were too often ours.” This issue also features an interview with novelist Richard Powers, author of The Gold Bug Variations and Galatea 2.2. By the way, this is one of the few literary magazines to feature cartoons – a welcome change of pace in the usually buttoned-up realm of serious literature.
